Advanced Design Research (IJADR) provides an international forum for the science that advances our understanding of design impacts. It covers all possible direct/indirect, positive/negative effects of design and technology on humans; for example, psychological, physiological, behavioural, ethical, social, economic, environmental and ecological.

The journal is devoted to research that promotes impact-relevant design and engineering knowledge, from relevant tools and methods to theoretical viewpoints and philosophical debates, and their integration into future design practice in a rapidly and continuously changing technological landscape.

IJADR brings together leading work undertaken by researchers from all domains of design and engineering, including product, interaction, experience, service, computational, smart systems, social, architectural, human factors, ergonomics and urban design/engineering.
